1. The cochlear nerve runs antero-inferiorly and the inferior vestibular nerve runs postero-inferiorly. 2. The cochlear nerve is lateral to the root of the vestibular nerve. 3. In humans, there are on average 30, 000 nerve fibers within the cochlear nerve . 4. Damage to the cochlear nerve will cause partial or complete deafness in the affected ear. 5. "Neural ", or'retrocochlear', hearing loss occurs because of damage to the cochlear nerve ( CVIII ). 6. The auditory nerve, also called the cochlear nerve , then transmits action potentials to the central auditory nervous system. 7. The cochlear nerve travels away from the cochlea of the inner ear where it starts as the spiral ganglia. 8. Recent research, reported in 2012 achieved growth of cochlear nerve cells resulting in hearing improvements in gerbils, using stem cells. 9. They work by artificial stimulation of the cochlear nerve by providing an electric impulse substitution for the firing of hair cells. 10. Cochlear nerve fibers ( 30, 000 + ) each have a most sensitive frequency and respond over a wide range of levels.
